Summary - Pewsey, SN9 SN9 5JX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded equestrian-friendly house with extensive grounds and outbuildings.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage with historic character
Milkhouse Water Farm is a striking Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage set in about 6.2 acres of gardens, paddocks and outbuildings. The main house offers characterful reception rooms with inglenook fireplaces, a cook’s kitchen with a four-oven Aga, four bedrooms and versatile living spaces including a mezzanine. Meticulously maintained cottage gardens, a parterre and a bluebell wood provide a private, mature setting with far-reaching rural views.
The estate is particularly well-suited to equestrian or small-holding lifestyles: a modern stable block with four loose boxes, four further stables, tack room, hay barn and five paddocks are in place. There is an additional barn/garage and an office/workshop. Planning consent exists for conversion of one barn to a two-bedroom annexe (K/40256, approved 31/10/2005) — prospective buyers should check current status and any outstanding works.
Important practical considerations are straightforwardly set out. The property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate renovation or extension work. Services are rural: borehole water, septic drainage and oil-fired heating; mains electricity is present but there is no EPC (EPC exempt). Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is high (Wiltshire Band F), which may influence home-working decisions and running costs.
For buyers seeking period charm, space and rural privacy, this holding combines immediate residential comfort with scope for ancillary income or expanded accommodation subject to permissions. Its isolated hamlet setting is peaceful and affluent, with Pewsey village about one mile away and rail links to London. Financial and technical due diligence is recommended for listed-property constraints, planning history and utility arrangements.
